Key Features of Hand-Knotted Carpet

• Carpets are made on vertical looms with cotton warp threads and cotton weft.
• Wool is the most common medium for the pile.
• Hand-knotted carpets are made in the knots-per-square-inch basis, so the weaving is fine and time consuming.
• Any kind of design can be made in this medium, human figures being the most difficult one.
• Qualities range from 10 knots per square inch, going up to 250 knots per square inch.
